Stuck in the middle
They are either out to get us,
or they are with us. Wait. That is

Best wishes,

When most cats rub up against my legs, while I am sitting at my desk, they are indicating that they want me to pet them; but, tonight, it is my black cat jaggar who is doing the rubbing up against my legs, but, as usual, when I bend down to pet him, he is having no part of that. You can't pet Jaggar; the closest that he will get to you is to rub up agiainst your legs. Sttanage, cat; that.

I bought 3 Mega Million Quick Pick tickets,

I would buy, but I am thankful. I am going to

He asks for money for food.

Idiotic replies to my

like a bunny on Easter
put your money in the basket
while your children arm themselves with machine guns
to go to schools that you bought with your Mercedes
that you stole from workers sneaking into the zoo
past the hookers past men strung out on malt liquor
crack cocaine and poverty.
Why do people have to suffer?
Why do people have to hate?
I sit in the fancy bookstore now typing
on a laptop somebody paid for for me.
Why does Europe hate us
side with Pakistan in the Middle East?
I won’t tell any lies.
If you listen very carefully you will hear
Bob Marley whispering in my ear
drowning out the Saturday night conversation.
---------------------------------------
I can’t oppose a war for oil
if my primary goal is
to ride in a limousine.
I shouldn’t use my platform for peace
as a stepping stone to getting my face
on the cover of The Rolling Stone.

You run I hide you seek
I drive past houses
where people used to live.
Now, they're not vacant
but where has everybody gone?
You need not care if you cut your hair
it is not the color of your skin
that will stand before you at the gates of Hell.
Oh, well; you run I hide you seek.
i chew on a toothpick
they smoke cigarettes
between an undergraduate

I can't run away.
When frat boys string guitars
and artists play intramurals,
won't the world be such a blur.
I’m so uncertain not sure

worthlessly semantic manic
not in a state of ease
I'm too busy to panic
God must be crazy

that they make it seem like
Jimi Hendrix wasn’t getting high.
Everybody’s got to die
but why does it have to be
such a pain in the ass to get there?
There will be a doctor waiting to
buy martinis with your liver
a soul less surgeon will have already
stolen your heart sold it on the

I put a violin in my son’s hands when he was around three years old, praying that he would take to the instrument, but resolute to not force him to stick with it if he wanted out. Well, after a couple of years, he wanted out. I was bummed, because the young kid was playing, “Blowing in the Wind,” by Bob Dylan, among other songs, and I was enthusiastic about our musical future. I could see Graem, on stage, playing violin, while I stood next to him spouting word: my words, a.k.a poetry.
Things on violins break, so I went to a really neat Violin Store in Downtown Decatur, Georgia. There I met the nicest, and most interesting man: Paul Mecer. He was a violinist, himself; a really good one, and I have been fortunate to be able to follow his career over the last couple of decades. Paul’s violin has lead him to perform in front of audiences all around the world. He is an amazing performer. One of his projects is called The Ghosts Story. Joan, and I, were fortunate to catch this musical adventure the other night.
Joan’s pictures of this event read like a motion picture, that is why I have put no captions with the pictures. I want you to feel Paul Mercer and Just Joan’s flow. Paul is the violinist in all of the pictures; Dave Petterson is the percussionist, and Sacha Dzuba is the guest violinist. The Belly Dancer is Monet Fort. These four put on an amazing show.

The K Kolumn Other Person Poem of The Week
Penis
I want a penis
I want to give birth to it
so I can teach it to be nice.
Teach it to be gentle,
K Artist of The Week: Glenn Fox www.GLENNFOX.com
teach it how to love.
I want it to ejaculate itself on the floor
spread it into the wood
and teach it how to be perfect history
without war and bloody hands.
I want to wash it, dry it,
hang it out to dry on a sunny day.
I want to set it on the window sill
have it look out at the flowers,
look to the sky and listen to the sound
of a child's laughter.
I want to introduce it to my friends,
have them pet it nicely, never being afraid.
I want my penis to feel the tears of women
and understand the animal cruelty of its nature.
I want my penis to be deaf, never listening
to the voices that define what it means to be a man.

The K Kolumn Other Person Poem of The Week
Penis
I want a penis
I want to give birth to it
so I can teach it to be nice.
Teach it to be gentle,
K Artist of The Week: Glenn Fox www.GLENNFOX.com
teach it how to love.
I want it to ejaculate itself on the floor
spread it into the wood
and teach it how to be perfect history
without war and bloody hands.
I want to wash it, dry it,
hang it out to dry on a sunny day.
I want to set it on the window sill
have it look out at the flowers,
look to the sky and listen to the sound
of a child's laughter.
I want to introduce it to my friends,
have them pet it nicely, never being afraid.
I want my penis to feel the tears of women
and understand the animal cruelty of its nature.
I want my penis to be deaf, never listening
to the voices that define what it means to be a man.

#22 When The Going Gets Weird
pics: Bolton by leash.
----------------------
Finster Fest will be held in downtown Summerville,Ga., near Athens,
where Finster's home, Paradise Garden, is being restored, on
Saturday May 5th 10a.m.-6p.m. & Sunday May 6th 12p.m.-5p.m. 2012

This is sick, and sad, and disgusting
and whoever did it should be shot to death.
They kill the rhinoceroses for their tusks,
I believe, which are worth quite a bit of
money to some sick sadistic wealthy prick.
--------------------------------------
I was taught to go after the who what when where
and why of The Situation.
---------------------------------------
To Show Me The Stars
There is nothing to calm the fear of a day
full of creditors who cant be satisfied,
dunning letters that can't be replied to,
except for,
a walk in the dark to the store for ice cream
with a dog happy to see me,
and a daughter who brings a flashlight
to show me the stars.
----------------------------
What's the solution to war?
What's the solution to war?
We should send old men and old women
to war, let them kill themselves off
in the name of bigger cars and better
air-conditioning.
Let the congressmen and the kings,
the presidents and the heads of state
pull out guns and knives and battle
to the death.
Why should my son or daughter fight
for you, you fucking cowards, you killers,
you creeps.
You hide behind your hallow halls,
you hide behind your laws that money buys.
I want you out in the open
looking down the barrel of a gun,
see what my son would see,
before he pulled the trigger,
a man just like himself,
scared just like himself,
put there just like himself
by a man like you.
The blood that spills
the guts that pour
should be yours, Mr. President.
The guts that pour,
the blood that spills
should be yours, Speaker of the House.
The brains that splat,
the guts that pour,
the blood that spills
should be yours, Senator.
Teenagers should not be killing teenagers,
they should be studying math.
or tearing down an engine,
or hitchhiking through Europe.
War is not a game of chess.
------------------------------
Different Strokes
They are knocking on doors
and making phone calls
trying to make a sale.
I am sitting at my desk
trying to write a poem.
-----------------------------
I think that it is best to start your day with silence,
and then move into some music as you write. I don't
think tuning into The Cable News, first thing in the
morning, is the best idea: I like my thoughts to be as
much my own as possible.

seen them. I just opened a picture on this guy's page,
and a nice pair of jugs in a skimpy green dresss
jumped out at me. I wonder if the girl's boobs could,
somehow, feel my eyes upon them. That girl let someone
take that picture of her, and now it is out in cyberspace
for old men to look at.

Kimmerz Dougherty: It depends. That is always the
lawyer's answer. Ha ha.

a great heart, and soul?
Kimmerz Dougherty: Nope.
Mikel K Poet How do you maintain your integrity?
Kimmerz Dougherty I'm just me. I've always had
a strong ethical character and that will never change.
It's part of the core of who I am.
Mikel K Poet That's a good thing, Kimmerzz;

Play the game;
it's the only way.

Ordinary Things

on writing poems, and
I will have to content myself
with such ordinary things
as washing the dishes
and taking the dogs out to piss.
---------------------------------
War Is Over
She is fighting her battles,
and I am fighting mine;
and when the wars are over
we meet in the middle for some fun.
----------------------------------
Note to Brandy: I don't know how many times
I have said to gals,"Look Dear...I'm a sailor."
---------------------------------
In The Long Run
Somewhere, there is a man
who is sure that it is the right thing to do
to send the soldiers who he commands
to their death. In the long run,
businessmen will profit.
--------------------------------------
But you will never meet them
Somewhere, there is a woman
who you could love.
Somewhere, there is a man
who you could love.
-----------------------------------
How the fuck did they do that?
What made them think that way,
that they could discover such a thing.
If it was left up to me, we wouldn't
have hammers, or toilet paper; and
we would be walking everywhere.

"You who are on the road must have a code that you can live by."--CSNY
----------------------------------
"Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?"--Pink FLoyd
------------------------------------
Lou Majors: I always thought you, me, and RuPaul were the wildest
and craziest people Atlanta has produced!
----------------------------------------------
I have trouble keeping track of no money;
how the hell do you keep up with A Billion Dollars?
-------------------------------------
The Hair From The Hairbrush Story
I flushed excess hair from my hair brush into
the hole that was in front of me, wondering if
that hair was being flushed down to be part of
The Universe. It was an optimistic thought.
And then I thought how my hair might disappear
only to reappear as a Walmart in a neighborhood
that didn't want the Walmart to be there.
My hair brush looked at me as if I was weird.
I turned out the light, and left the bathroom.
----------------------------------------
Just A Thought
If you are cool, you can do it.
If you're smart, you won't get caught.
Don't be yelling, and screaming, later
because you didn't use your head;
it is no one else's fault if you are stupid.
----------------------------------------
Steps To Achieving Peace of Mind
I know the value of an old worn blue jean jacket.
I know what I am doing when I put on my Mororcyle Leather.
I gots really skinny legs but, still, I wear shorts most of the time.
I never really like shaving, and now I got a beard.
Funny how things work out, if you let them.
---------------------------------------
This is all I am giving you now
I am hesitant to change.
I am slow to make friends.
I prefer walking the dogs
to watching the rock show,
these days.
---------------------------------------
This could go on and on
Sometimes, I don't feel like
taking out the trash.
Sometimes, I don't feel like
doing the dishes.
Sometimes, I don't feel like
vacuuming, or dusting.
Sometimes, I don't feel like
cleaning the bathroom sink.
Sometimes, I don't feel like
cleaning the toilet.
Sometimes, I don't feel like
getting out of bed.
-------------------------------------
Beyond Me
Who looked into each others' eyes first,
I can't tell you.
Who kissed who first, I don't know.
Who seduced who first, I can not remember.
Who threw the first word in anger, I am not sure.
And who decided it was over, is now beyond me.
-------------------------------------
AOL (The Huffington Post's parent company) reportedly, pulled their ads from The Rush Limbaugh show, recently, due to Limbaugh's sexually derogative words about a young lady who testified before Congress about contraceptives. Isn't Arianna Huffington supposed to be a leading liberal in this nation; what is she doing being content with AOL ads on The Limbaugh Show?
Like Tom Gray once wrote, and Cyndi Lauper then sang, "Money changes everything."
Maybe we should call her, "Anything for a buck Arianna?"
----------------------------------------------------------
Someone told me how great The Trader Joe's Frozen Veggie Pizzas were, so I got one, this weekend, and I was not impressed. I met Courtney Love, once, also. That was a dismal experience, too.
-------------------------------------
"They want to use young men as guinea pigs, and then just throw them away." A Former US soldier who was drugged by The Army. I wonder if they are still experimenting on young soldiers, today. Can you believe that The Army would give LSD to our soldiers to test the drug on them?
-------------------------------------
I'm A Challenge To The Process
I'm so dangerous,
I'm a challenge to the process
of evolution,
revolution is my solution,
not bloody, but of the mind.
Be kind to everybody;
don't screw your brother for a buck.
Help those down on their luck.
Fuck the millionaire and his money,
he doesn't care about the man in the ghetto,
wants to keep us all down.
I'm no clown,
got a family to raise.
When I was younger,
I used to run around in a drunken daze.
See the malt liquor commercial
on the billboard bordering the bad side of town.
What's so dangerous about being
poor and black?
Cut me some slack.
They killed the Indians.
They killed John Lennon.
They'll kill you and me
for trying to get to higher ground.
We've got to get it down.
I'm so dangerous.
I'm a challenge to the process.
Judge's gavel can't bring me
down. I quit wearing the uniform
of conformity. You might not look
normal to me. You might not like
what I say, but I say it in the name of
freedom, not for pay.
I'm a challenge to the process.
-----------------------------------------
No cold pavement
slapped you, tonight.
You didn't take a ride
in the van, handcuffed.
You won't have to face
a judge in the morning.
------------------------------------------
That's it. That's all for this week.
Peace and Love. --Mikel K

I wish that I was a Super Star,
so that I could be an even bigger asshole.
----------------------------------
I used to drink a lot while I was doing LSD.
----------------------------------
Freedom Was A Whore
Freedom was a whore.
I abused her.
I misused her.
I confused her
with something else.
I neglected her.
I bet that she would
be there for me
for forever.
Freedom just walked
away.

#20 Weird Goin
Friggin hippy communist left wing liberal poet...get a friggin job...so u can think like the other guy...hes got a job and stays in line...what the hell is wrong with you...why u gotta think for yourself... that don't do the comapny any good no no good at all...subversion does nothin but confuse sheep...weed this one out and give him a bath...--Andy Browne
Funny, we watch people being killed on the news every day,
but to watch others fuck is immoral, and illegal in this country.
---------------------------
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a
more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic
Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.
-------------------------------------
Up at 8 something. My blood sugar was high, as it often is in the morning; but I was surprised that it was high this morning, as I did a good workout with the weights, yesterday. It looks like rain out there, but it will still be a beautiful day.
-------------------------------------------------
Willie Nelson just held a press conference to
tell everybody that he has quit smoking pot.
-------------------------------------------------
There is a large chicken taco blocking traffic, southbound,
on the interstate; and no one knows what to do.
----------------------------------------
I lost my chastity belt.
----------------------------------------
Rick Santorum was smoking crack, and listening to
Pink Floyd when the song, "Mother," came on.
"Mother, should I run for President? sang Floyd,
and Santorum got the idea that he could do the job.
--------------------------------
I'm a spoiled man. Joan just told me to stay out of
the mushrooms, three or four times, and then
the young lady brought me a small bowl of them
mixed with the rice that she is, also, cooking for dinner.
I have eaten in jails, and I have eaten in mental houses,
and I have eaten in soup lines. Damn. I've come a long way,
baby.
-------------------------------
I will never run a circular saw, blade covered in peanut butter,
across my teeth.
-------------------------------
I can see pictures of my loved ones in front of me.
--------------------------------
Artist David Nihiser: "Hey Mikel, I read when the going gets weird;
You got it goin on as usual." I met Artist Dave Nihiser on a porch
in July about 25 years ago. That porch was covered in Christmas
Lights, and funk. That Porch was the one that Ru Paul was renting
at that time.
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
Sanity? I must have lost my mind,
and, once you lose it, it is so hard to find.
---------------------------------
Two of the three kids that I am lucky enough to be a Father to
are coming over for dinner, tonight. The other "kid" is fixing dinner
for his two young ones.
----------------------------------
My Idea
In the life we are living
they are saying that they
don't want us to have sex
unless it is like the kind
that The Pope wants us to have.
Churches pointing one finger,
holding out their other hand
for a hand out.
Man wants to be elected with
this as part of his platform,
like Aerosmeith once said,
"Give me a little kiss, like this."
Well, the didn't exactly say that
but you get my idea.
--------------------------
Equality
If you want your rules
that is fine, but when
you try to enforce them
you drive me out of my
mind, because these
laws passed by rich men
are often unfair.
--------------------------
Even the nuns do what they are told
Flock to me like crack hookers to a pipe.
Flock to me like children to candy.
Flock to me like dogs to a tree,
cats to a litter box.
And what if what I say doesn't make sense
to you, or worse offends you.
What do you do; continue to sit in my pew
and put money in my basket?
----------------------------
What's Inside?
My soul
and my
goals,
must jive.
-----------------------------
What It Means To Kill A Man
I bust a cap on you
cuz I thought that I had to;
the things that you said to me
made me mad at you.
Now, you're in the emergency room,
or the morgue,
and I'm kicked back
in jail, or a state prison.
Funny, they told me about
restraint of pen, and tongue,
but I didn't think it out
what it means to kill a man.
------------------------------------
m full of good ideas. I have a million, or so,
great ideas milling about, or running about,
in my head at any given time. I need to find
someone to pay me for ideas.
------------------------------------
Say you had to spit on something,
but you had no saliva in your mouth;
what could you use instead?
------------------------------------
Dis-jointed
You want to live your life
as a poet.
You want to live your life
eating sour dough bread.
You want to live your life
making a scene.
You want to live your life
in peace and love, and
that is how it shall be.
-----------------------------------
K Question: Does anybody miss Pat Buchanan?
Suzanne Lawson Who? ;)
Al Sullivan Not for a minute.
Annie Hamm he hasn't gone anywhere.

like Aerosmeith once said,
"Give me a little kiss, like this."
Well, the didn't exactly say that
but you get my idea.
(Repeat this to a Tribe Called Quest Beat).
------------------------------------------
I'll Never
I'll never ride a horse.
I'll never scuba dive.
I'll never pay anyone minimum wage.
I'll never run for elected office.
I'll never marry anyone.
I'll never jump out of a plane,
with a parachute, just for the hell of it.
I'll never go to Church, again.
I will never run a circular saw blade,
covered in peanut butter, across my teeth.
-------------------------------------------
When I come to your funeral
I'm not going to know what to do
so I'll shuffle back and forth on my shoes
I'll fight back a tear, or two,
and I'll drudge up every good memory
that I have of you.
--------------------------------------------
Joe Choo: is one of Atlanta's Most Talented Artists.
Without knowing it, he dropped by to Chat With K
in this column. Peace and Love.
(Share about an hour ago near Atlanta).
Mikel K Poet: With Facebook as it is, I find myself using my phone to make phone calls less, and less, and find myself wanting to use my phone less, and less. "Did they get you to trade your heros for ghosts?"
Joe Choo: I don't even use my email anymore
Mikel K Poet: Weird how dependent we get on some things,
and then not dependent on other things at all.
----------------------------------
A Note To My Dogs
You are lucky to be a dog on a leash
walking with a man who loves you. Y
ou could be a cow, or a pig,
or a chicken being slaughtered,
inhumanely, so that we can eat you.

Are you certain that God is in charge?
Jeff Waller: There is no god.
Danny Moore: Jeff you sound like Friedrich Nietzsche.
Jason D. Armistead: Free will is in charge;
God is in charge when you let him be.
April King Woodard: I agree with Jason.
Moebius Machiavelli Yes.
Mikel K Poet: How would you convince Mr. Waller that there is a God?
Jason D. Armistead: I'm not sure..it's like asking me to believe that
dark matter is real. I suppose that job is up to my brother the Jewish carpenter...
Sloan Carroll Rainwater: What Jason said.
Moebius Machiavelli: I can tell you or anyone *** exists, and this being loves you and wants you to be safe, and because I didn't use the word *** maybe Jeff might not invest all his baggage into that word that he has associated with that other word. Only, for all the negative **** that _______, or you or anyone has come to associate with ***... it isn't *** is it?
Our world shapes us over time... A strange thing for an IQ test, people see it or they don't. They think they can explain it, knowing they don't understand a 1/1,000,000th of a % of it. How can you argue "rationally" with someone like that... They already know better than anyone else, and anyone who doesn't see it like them, is usually just seen as... just another idiot.
April King Woodard: There's no point in trying to convince Jeff now... there will come a point and time in your own life, Jeff, and at that point, you'll either get it or you won't. But God doesn't give up on us... his love is unconditional. So be bold and stuck in your ways right now, that's OK. Just know that a lot of us have been there and learned better. There is a GREATER being, force, Lord, Christ, Yawah that leads people into a loving, forgiving, productive, charitable, way of life. So Jason, I agree with you that free will is in charge. Jeff, What do you do with your free will?
Lars TheMachine "If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people."
Jeff Waller: There is no god.
Danny Moore: Jeff you sound like Friedrich Nietzsche.
Jason D. Armistead: Free will is in charge;
God is in charge when you let him be.
April King Woodard: I agree with Jason.
Moebius Machiavelli Yes.

There is a GREATER being, force, Lord, Christ, Yawah that leads people into a loving, forgiving, productive, charitable, way of life. So Jason, I agree with you that free will is in charge. Jeff, What do you do with your free will?

#19 Weird Going with K
I have an ear inside my head
that can't hear a word that you are saying.
---------------------------------------
I really don't get The Idea of nailing a politician because he,
or she, changes their position on something. Life is change.
You and I change our mind all the time; we think different
of things, at different times. Why should Politicians be any different?
---------------------------------------
Do you want to make a difference
in The Lives of Your Fellow Human Beings?
---------------------------------------
What if Ron Paul was The President?
---------------------------------------
I just watered my plants. I have lost several plants since I brought
them all inside: the heat, the lack of sun, and the cats, proved to be
lethal. I used to have trouble keeping goldfish alive; they needed
much more space than I could provide them. A gold fish bowl is not
neccessarliy good for the goldfish.
--------------------------------------
I'm an addict.
I'm addicted to Love.
--------------------------------------
She Don't Do Me Like That
My eyes didn't blink
when you left me.
I never shed a tear
once you walked out
that door. You can
send me all the information
that you want about
your new love interests.
I;m not going to get jealous
or angry: I got a new woman
now, who don't do me like you did.
----------------------------------------
What if Rick Santorum were President?
----------------------------------------
TV Dinner
She showed me her wound;
I couldn't stand it, so I turned on the tv.
Children were being bombed in Syria.
I watched and ate my dinner
as if nothing was happening.

Not some guy
who wants to
take away our condoms.
----------------------------------------
THE K QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Mikel K Poet: Hey, what's going on in Syria, today?
Ric Stick Green: Same thing that's been going on for hundreds of years.
Beverley Cunningham: Why isn't someone stopping this?
Mikel K Poet: Who?
Beverley Cunningham: The U.S. could provide weapons to Syrian civilians
so they can protect themselves.
Mikel K Poet: Who'll train them to use them, and how to be soldiers?
Beverley Cunningham: Nobody, but at least they'll have a way to fight back.
Mikel K Poet: How do you fight tanks with .45's?
Beverley Cunningham: The last I read which was just a day or two ago, tanks weren't in the picture just yet cause it would make the government appear weak. Tanks definitely paint a different picture. I'll read up on my news tonight when my 8 month old goes to sleep which is the only quiet part of my day. LOL.
There is never an easy answer. The U.S. just withdrew from a war and I'm sure our citizens don't want to get involved in another mess. After the Holocaust, we said never again, but there are a number of atrocities happening everyday all around the world such as genocide.
No one can do it all.
Mikel K Poet I hear you, Beverley. I hear you.
---------------------------------
I'm not even sure who you are.
You could have been the bully who plauged me
when I was a kid.
You could be the girl who danced with me
and then said that I didn't know how to dance.
You could have been my father
telling me that I didn't know how to do anything at all.
You could be God, Government, or The School System
that I came up under,
but one, or some, or all of you
told me that I didn't know how to dance.

I swam 20 laps today. Before I hit the long lane, though, I went to the shallower end and practiced my breathing for the freestyle stroke. I stood in the pool, holding the wall, and practiced breathing, and I used a kickboard to practice breathing going up, and down, the length of the pool, doing my new breathing thing.. When I got to the long lane, I was able to grab three breathes while crawl stroking it, taking me half the pool's length: a new rocord for me as an adult swimmer! This shows me that all anything pretty much takes is practice, and I am certainly going to practice, and swim more!
---------------------------------------
Impasse
I wave my finger,
but you obviously linger.
---------------------------------------
My Kitty Jaggar is a very unaffectionate cat. He was found
with his chest caved in, next to his dead mother, in the
drive through of a Mc Donald's. He was taken to a vet, the
vet that I was going to at the time. The Vet Tech's used to
bring him out to me, and let me hold him, tiny thing that he
was, as they nursed him. When he was ready for a good
home, they asked me if I wanted him. Of course, I said yes.
This morning, Jaggar came up to me, and rubbed himself
against my legs. This is as close as Jagger gets to bonding
with me. I don't get to pet him. He doesn't crawl in the bed
with me at night, as my other cat Kobain does. Jaggar, sometimes,
bites at, and waves a menacing paw at folks who come into
our abode.
You have to take things as they come to you. I am glad that
Jaggar came to me, even though he is not the cuddly type.

Jeff Waller: There is no god.
Danny Moore: Jeff you sound like Friedrich Nietzsche.
Jason D. Armistead: Free will is in charge;
God is in charge when you let him be.
April King Woodard: I agree with Jason.
Moebius Machiavelli Yes.
Mikel K Poet: How would you convince Mr. Waller that there is a God?
Jason D. Armistead: I'm not sure..it's like asking me to believe that
dark matter is real. I suppose that job is up to my brother the Jewish carpenter...
Sloan Carroll Rainwater: What Jason said.
April King Woodard: There's no point in trying to convince Jeff now... there will come a point and time in your own life, Jeff, and at that point, you'll either get it or you won't. But God doesn't give up on us... his love is unconditional. So be bold and stuck in your ways right now, that's OK. Just know that a lot of us have been there and learned better. There is a GREATER being, force, Lord, Christ, Yawah that leads people into a loving, forgiving, productive, charitable, way of life. So Jason, I agree with you that free will is in charge. Jeff, What do you do with your free will?

Our dog walk, this morning, was interesting in that I kind of tuned into
my legs, as I walked, noticing that they were a little sore, as I started
the walk; and then I was feeling a small amount of arthritic pain in my
right knee, and in my left heel, as we ended The Walk. I wondered if
these pains would ever completely go away, and if I had not been fat,
would I have ever gotten such pain in the first place. Both dogs took
hefty shits, along the way, and I am mighty thankful for that; it beats
picking up piles of poop in the hallway.

That's it for this week. I Love You. Goodbye.

I swam 20 laps today. Before I hit the long lane, though, I went to the shallower end and practiced my breathing for the freestyle stroke. I stood in the pool, holding the wall, and practiced breathing, and I used a kickboard to practice breathing going up, and down, the length of the pool, doing my new breathing thing.. When I got to the long lane, I was able to grab three breathes while crawl stroking it, taking me half the pool's length: a new rocord for me as an adult swimmer! This shows me that all anything pretty much takes is practice, and I am certainly going to practice, and swim more!

My Kitty Jaggar is a very unaffectionate cat. He was found
with his chest caved in, next to his dead mother, in the
drive through of a Mc Donald's. He was taken to a vet, the
vet that I was going to at the time. The Vet Tech's used to
bring him out to me, and let me hold him, tiny thing that he
was, as they nursed him. When he was ready for a good
home, they asked me if I wanted him. Of course, I said yes.
This morning, Jaggar came up to me, and rubbed himself
against my legs. This is as close as Jagger gets to bonding
with me. I don't get to pet him. He doesn't crawl in the bed
with me at night, as my other cat Kobain does. Jaggar, sometimes,
bites at, and waves a menacing paw at folks who come into
our abode.
You have to take things as they come to you. I am glad that
Jaggar came to me, even though he is not the cuddly type.

Moebius Machiavelli Yes.
Mikel K Poet: How would you convince Mr. Waller that there is a God?
Jason D. Armistead: I'm not sure..it's like asking me to believe that
dark matter is real. I suppose that job is up to my brother the Jewish carpenter...
Sloan Carroll Rainwater: What Jason said.
April King Woodard: There's no point in trying to convince Jeff now... there will come a point and time in your own life, Jeff, and at that point, you'll either get it or you won't. But God doesn't give up on us... his love is unconditional. So be bold and stuck in your ways right now, that's OK. Just know that a lot of us have been there and learned better. There is a GREATER being, force, Lord, Christ, Yawah that leads people into a loving, forgiving, productive, charitable, way of life. So Jason, I agree with you that free will is in charge. Jeff, What do you do with your free will?

Our dog walk, this morning, was interesting in that I kind of tuned into
my legs, as I walked, noticing that they were a little sore, as I started
the walk; and then I was feeling a small amount of arthritic pain in my
right knee, and in my left heel, as we ended The Walk. I wondered if
these pains would ever completely go away, and if I had not been fat,
would I have ever gotten such pain in the first place. Both dogs took
hefty shits, along the way, and I am mighty thankful for that; it beats
picking up piles of poop in the hallway.

#18 When The Going Gets weird by Mikel K
Something that has not happened to me in a long while happened today: I almost drowned. I was doing laps at the pool, and had almost reached the wall when I got a mouth full of water, and felt myself goiong under. Thankfully, I was able to arrest the process.
A gal sitting by the pool said, "Are you alright?
"I almost drowned," I said.
"I saw," she said.
I wanted to say, "Well, why didn't you jump in
and save me?" but I didn't.
Patrick Thorne: You'll never drown Mikel...when WWIII hits, you'll still be here with Keith Richards, and cockroaches!
------------------
Every time I fall.
Every time I crawl,
I get closer to standing up,
and saying my name.
----------
Could you quiet The Church Bells?
We're trying to do our Heroin.
----------------------------
Father Forgive Me
There is nothing like a beverage when you need, or want, one.
Mostly, I drink water all day. I squeeze lemon juice into it from
lemons that I acquire at the grocery store. Today, I am sucking
down a tasty beverage that comes from The Evil Corporate Monter.
-----------------------------
And it wasn't enough:
Her self-titled debut album, released in 1985, sold 25 million copies worldwide. In total, she released seven albums and three film soundtracks; a winner of six Grammys, Houston sold over 200 million albums and singles worldwide. She earned 30 Billboard Awards, 22 American Music Awards and two Emmy Awards.

Justice is weird, and, often, not just.
--------------------------------
My Greatest Love
I love chocolate
more than I love my love.
I love chocolate
more than money.
I love chocolate
more than hot sex.
I love chocolate
more than cars, and houses.
I am a chocolate addict,
and I'm not headed to
any sort of a meeting anytime soon.
----------------------------------
Life's A Stage
In one form, or another
I will always be in front of you.
----------------------------------
MP3, CD, Cassette, or 8 Track?
I'm a record, and I'm playing at ya, again.
You've heard me before, but each time
I sound different.
----------------------------------
I'm Coming To Break You
I'm coming to break your heart.
I'm coming to break you in two.
You're going to feel so much pain,
that you won't know what to do.
I'm coming to break your heart.
I'm coming to break you in two.
I'm coming to take my roses back.
You can no longer ride in my cadillac.
Here goes you crying.
Here goes me with a smile.
I'm coming to break your heart.
I'm coming to break you in two.
I'm coming to break your heart.
I'm coming to break your heart.
(My Gangsta Rap Song).
-----------------------------------
Not An Original Gangster
I feel like an Outlaw.
I feel like I ought to
crawl away from you.
----------------------------------
Keep ya head up
Keep ya head up,
if you're fed up
Today may be bad,
and tomorrow is
looking no better,
but ya got to keep
your head up.
Ya got to keep
your head up.
Think you've had
enough,
things can always
get better.
Keep ya head up.
Keep ya head up
------------------------
I just walked the dogs, much later than I usually walk the dogs,
and as I was walking over one perilous part of the journey:
a torn up sidewalk, I wondered what would happen if I fell,
hit my head, and passed out. Would the dogs stay with me,
guard me, alert someone as to my situation, or would they wander
off to see what the world around them had to offer?
------------------------
I'm eating leftover spaghetti, but The Dogs are hovering around me like
it is fresh stuff. We were going to see Snave and The Grass play tonight,
but seven hours at the hospital, today, wiped out our energy. I've never
been to New Orleans, which means that I have never been to Mardi Gras.
Am I doing The Math right? Joan did not have any clots in her lungs,
which is such a blessing.
------------------------
My Kind of Superstars
They were an overnight sensation
a hundred years in the making;
those blisters on their fingers
weren't faking, but they would still
say hello to you, if they saw you out
at the local store, when they wasn't on tour.
------------------------
Look Out For Me(No More).
I'm a giver, and a taker.
I'm a maker, and a faker.
I've made phone calls
from inside, and outside of jail.
I've been evicted from my home
for the choices that I made.
I've gone fishing without a hook
felt that I had it made.
I've been in love. I've been out of Love.
I've been beaten up. I've lied. I've cheated.
I've hitchhiked up and down the right side
of The USA.
And, here I am, today, alive, and sober.
Man, someone must be looking out for me.
-------------------------------------------
Life Is Weird
When I'm on my knees
I'm doing what they told me
that I had to do to talk to God.
When you are on your knees
you're doing what you please
where you please.
-------------------------------------------
To The Clock Upon The Wall
You get the hands of time
around the throat,
and you say, "Listen here
Mr. Hands of Time,"
you need to slow down:
"I am getting old, too fast."
And Mr. is really scared;
he'll promise you anything
just to get your hands off
of him, so he does, and you
let go of him. What time is it now?
--------------------------------
A flower was never such a flower before.
Spending all my free time you,
feeling dizzy, kind of on the edgy.
--------------------------------
And there were a few other places that I was
too drunk then to remember now...
Perfect
You are
perfect in God's eyes.
Perfect.
-----------------------------------
Loose Lipe
When you smile,
you smile with everybody.
When I smile,
I smile alone.
-----------------------------------
And like a Bad Hooker...State Farm doesn't care.
-----------------------------------
How to inhale properly?
Take a nice deep breath after your pull, and then
another deep breath with your nose. Itll be in there.
-----------------------------------
My name is Mikel, and I am addicted to sushi.
-----------------------------------
I want Rick Santorum's Sex Life to be 'Special,"
like he wants our Sex Lives to be 'Special.'
-----------------------------------
That's it for this week. Next week will be another week.
Best To All Of You.

Chuck Dukowski Questions
Chuck Dukowski was a founding member of the legendary band, Black Flag,
and co-founded the SST label, that put out Black Flag's music, and the music of so many other great, great bands. Dukowski is also a founding member of The Chuck Dukowski Sextet, also known as The CD6, who are playing, and putting out cds, as we speak. I was fortunate to speak to Chuck, recently.
What's wrong with the world, Chuck?
When Black Flag broke up, what did you see in your future?
What's more important, being a rockstar,
or being a great husband, and dad, and why?
What is your new band, The Chuck Dukowski Sextet, all about,
and who is that talented woman who is out front singing the songs?
Any thoughts on The Republican Primary?
Who would make a better President, Henry Rollins, or Mitt Romney?
What do you see in your future? Are you happy in your present?
From The Chuck Dukowski Sextet Website: "Punk rock is dead. Maybe we can stand on its corpse and reach a higher ground. Maybe not. Perhaps the flimsy imitators and the cleansing maggots of tomorrow's fresh style have weakened punk's bony skeleton too much. It might take us nowhere. Crumble on punk rock! We give you props."

#17 When The Going Gets Weird by Mikel K
K On The Road: A Visit to A Safari in Georgia
We learned fast that the ostriches were not user friendly, that they would bite your fingers as they took the large pellet of food from your hand. The ostriches were invasive, also, using their long necks to reach down to the floor of the car to try to take all of the food that you had.
From this initial meeting with an ostrich, our windows were up whenever an ostrich approached us on this safari that we were on, in, of all places, a small town called Pine Mountain, in Georgia.
The deer were pleasant to interact with. They waited their turn for a pellet, did not push each other to get one, and then gave us what seemed to be a look of thanks upon receiving their pellets.
I liked feeding the pigs. They could not stick their noses in our windows, but looked so beautiful trotting along the ground that I could not help but throw pellets on the ground in front of them. Most of the pigs were black. I have never seen, or heard of, a black pig. They were very regal, and like the deers polite, and thankful.
We were at a place called Wild Animal Safari; the idea being that when you buy your ticket, you also buy a bag, or two, of large pellets of food. Then you drive down a long, and winding, road, where all kinds of incredible animals wait for you. They approach your car, and many of them stick their heads into your open car window to be fed.
The Zebras were beautiful, and only a tad overbearing. It was amazing to see two giraffes, who, in nature, reach for the stars,normally, to eat, bend over and have their heads in our car at the same time. (Joan freaked a bit about this, because both of the giraffes were on her side of the car, and stuck their heads through her window at the same time.
There were watusi, and buffalo, all of whom were very polite, though quite imposing. There were antelope, who were a little bit squeamish, llamas, also polite, and a bit shy.
In cages, and visible during the walk part of the journey, were some funky monkees, a baboon, ligers, which I was told are a cross between a lion, and a tiger, and a big, big, big beautiful rhinoceros. I love rhinoceroses: what an amazing animal. Where does such a creature come from?
---------------------------------------
Up at 8:34 Someone peed on the carpet right by the front door. We went for a long walk, shortly before bedtime, so I am not pleased about this.

She was in Playboy.
She showed all that

Death might just be the beginning

Live from the gluck theater at wvu: at a moment's notice
by stephanie barbian
http://stephaniebarbian.bandcamp.com/album/live-from-the-gluck-theater-at-wvu-at-a-moments-notice?autoplay=true
I have known Stephanie Barbian for over 20 years. I discovered her at a club
in Midtown Atlanta, and asked her to be a regular on my tv show, "Your 15 Minutes R Up." She sang, she danced, she made people laugh. She is a real talent. You should buy her cd Live from the gluck theater... because it is a beautiful work. but also, Stephanie needs your help. She wants to get her daughter back from her ex-husbnnd,who has basically stolen the child from her with the use of a dickhead attorney. Money that you pay for the cd with will help Stephanie in her fight to be a Full Time Mommy,again. Thanks for your help.
------------------------------------------
Is Facebook going to force us all to use Timeline?
------------------------------------------
I think I was an Immaculate Conception.
-----------------------------------------
Who is replacing Clarence Clemmons on Saxaphone
in the E Street Band? I see that Springsteen is playing
here, in Atlanta, in March.
-----------------------------------------
The dogs get bummed out when they come to the edge
of the kitchen, when I am in the kitchen, and don't get
a snack; just another installment of my Mick Jagger and
Axl Rose, when he was young, dance movements.
----------------------------------------
He never heard of me
which was alright.
I knew who he was
and knew that I
probably couldn't
stand him.
-----------------------------------------
10 p.m., and I just walked the dogs. The rain held me up.
The dogs were very glad to get out. It was a serious walk
fot The Boys; they hardly stopped to smell, or pee on, anything.
-----------------------------------------
I am fixing to clean The Turtles' Tank.
-----------------------------------------
Neil Boortz was talking to Herman Cain, this morning, about Newt Gingrich's desire to put a permanent U.S. base on the moon. Since I don't care, at all, what Herman Cain has to say, I turned the radio off.
------------------------------------------
I think that it was Ron Paul who said that we never leave another country once we have gone in:
"The drones are the latest example of the State Department’s efforts to take over functions in Iraq that the military used to perform. Some 5,000 private security contractors now protect the embassy’s 11,000-person staff, for example, and typically drive around in heavily armored military vehicles."
--The New York Times
----------------------------------
I have a drawer where I put sweets, on the very rare occaisions that I get them. Minutes ago I found myself searching the drawer, certain that my search would be for nought. But, it wasn't; I found one of those peppemint candies that they have on the hostess stand at many restaurants. Thank God for small flavors. I wanted a desssert to my breakfast, and I got one!
------------------------------------------
Joan's dog, Pretty Penni, is visiting for a couple of days.
She eats different food than my dogs, Dylan and Morrison.
I just fed all three of them, and looked over to see Penni
eating Dylan's food, and Dylan eating Penni's food. No foolin'.
----------------------------------------
Money is not as important as our Love
Screw having a place to live
when it comes to love. We'll
live at The Homeless Shelter,
if we have to, if that is
what it takes to make love.
-----------------------------------------------
The Turtles' Tank is clean.
Now, I have to change the kitty litter.

The K Konversation
------------------------------------------------
Did you see where Don Cornelius shot himself in the head?
------------------------------------------------
Deborah Myst Clinger-Vacano: I did..Thats just horrible:o(
Mikel K Poet: Yes, it is sad; he brought such great joy to this world.
Deborah Myst Clinger-Vacano: I loved watching Soul Train on Sat. mornings!!He was a gem!!I wonder what drove him to shoot himself?
Mikel K Poet: Dunno, but I am sad for him. It is weird, and horrific, when someone who appears to have it all, is really deathly miserable.
Deborah Myst Clinger-Vacano It is completely odd... shocking... and strange. I guess you just never know, eh?
Mikel K Poet: Love the moment that you're in; it might be your last!
---------------------------------
The Highlight of My Morning: Pretty Penni, and Henry, are visiting, this morning, and are playing together like the puppies that they are. On The Love Porch, for some reason, they don't get along, but within the abode they are fine. Penni is a girl, and Henry is a boy. Penni keeps sniffing Henri's butt.
---------------------------------
Don't boil rice, and change the kitty litter, at the same time.
You might burn the rice like I just did.
---------------------------------
Just read on Facebook: When it is hard to stand, get on your knees.
---------------------------------
K: I don't believe it.I think that you can talk to God anywhere, in any body position. I think that the idea of making you kneel is man-made in attempt to subjagate you to those making that rule.
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
"L.A. Woman, you're my woman."--Jim Morisson
"Atlanta Woman, you're my woman."--Mikel K
--------------------------------
I just finished changing the kitty litter;
still not one of my favorite household chores.

Advice to a friend, when I couldn't thing of
anything else to say: Sometimes, it just sucks,
and we are stuck in it.

Thanks for tuning in, and turning on.
Peace, and Love / "See" you next week.

DILDO DIANA REPLY: This would be much more interesting if it wasn’t recycled from a week of Mikel’s facebook statuses and actual original work. What did he say about instant gratification?
Diana May-Waldman
January 25, 2012
How do you know what did, or didn't, come from my Facebook Page? I blocked you from my Facebook Page. I've said lots of things about instant gratification, exactly what are you looking for here? What is your goal? What is your mission in leaving this, and other unhappy notes about my writing, and my life. Don't you have better things to do than this? You push love, love, love, and then you act hateful.
Could you just please leave me alone?
Mikel
Your writing would be much more interesting, if it wasn't so boring.
Could you just please leave ma alone?

#14 When The Going Gets Weird by Mikel K
Anna didn't go. She didn't go. She didn't go,
so I took her inside, and just as she got to
the entrance to The Love Porch, she let go
with two hefty craps. Why does this dog do me
this way?
--------------------------
"BP is committed to The Gulf."--BP Commercial
--------------------------
I'm sure that I did not clean off any of the pesticide
that inhabited the skin of the apple that I just ate,
by running the apple under the water from the kitchen
sink, and rubbing it with my finger. Joan says that
our bodies are strong enough to kill the pesticides
when we eat the apples. Hmmmmmm.
--------------------------------
I just laminated Howard Finster's business card.
I found this card the other day while I was digging
through the massive amount of paperwork that
follows me about. I have no idea how I got this card;
I do know that The Finster Exhibit at The High Museum,
here in Atlanta, Ga. is one of the most awesome things
that I have ever seen.
----------------------------------------
--Imagine Not--
Can you imagine Newt Gingrich as President?
What if Dorothy never clicked her heels?
What if Alice never went down the hole?
Imagine the Grinch being the wizard of Oz?
What if Walt Disney had never existed?
Say the coyote caught, and ate, the road runner?
Can you imagine Newt Gingrich as President?
It's like shooting yourself in the head
just to see if you would live.
Or blowing your toes off with a shotgun
just for a laugh.
I'm sincere; drink your beer,
but think about it. Think about it.
-------------------------
Lydia Lunch: I'm still dumbfounded that George Bush became President and even more shocked that he was elected a 2nd term. Gingrich President? Ohhhhh Why the Hell not? If not just for grins.
Mikel K Poet: Dang Lydia, and I thought that you had all The Answers!
Lydia Lunch: Maybe we should run....
Mikel K Poet: Run like Hell.
---------------------------------------
Mitt Romney shouldn't have to pay taxes.
---------------------------------------
I just cranked up The Motorhead. It goes out there for all of you stuck out there in the 5:20 p.m. traffic. There is nothing stupider than traffic; nothing pisses me off as much. If you are in jail for reefer, any amount, this song goes out to you, also. They should change the laws, and set you all free.
---------------------------------------
It's burning without me;
I can only take one breath
---------------------------------------
I just walked my dogs. For Morrison, it was his second walk of the day. He got to walk to The Grocery Store with me, this morning. I can't take Bundy places. He gets separation anxiety. He pitches fits. He, and I, are much more happy with him as the guard dog of our home. Morrison goes on walks besides our regular dual dog walks; Bundy doesn't. It is that simple, and, this way, nobody has to pitch a fit.
----------------------------------------
"What are you doing for The Latino Population, today?"
"I might go home and have some tacos." replied a northern mayor,
to a reporter. (The Mayor just "retired" as a result of the
strong backlash to his statements).
-----------------------------------------
Probably, everybody should be charged the same tax rate,
except for me, who shouldn't be charged anything.
-----------------------------------------
People are saying that "they" want our children to be stupid,
so "they" fine tune the schools to produce stupidity; stupidity
meaning that our children will work for them and obey their laws.
-----------------------------------------
Can they force you into an apology?
Will they teach you art, or geology?
Are you crawling now,
when you used to ride in air conditioning?
Are you baffled, confused, lonely and angry?
------------------------------------------
Not everybody can read, "The Delivery Guy."
I've had some people say that they threw it
to the ground, and never picked it back up,
and I have had people say that the book made
them chuckle the whole way thru.
There is no accounting for taste,
but I think that you will enjoy my book.

out at the crowd, while his brother, Brit Turner, works up a serious sweat

of The Atlanta Music scene. He is a maser of both the microphone, and the
stage, using both as if he was born to them. Paul Jackson (Guitar, Vocals),

deep down in my heart,
that while I was alive
that I had balls.
